They have learnt about daily routines and habits, eating a balanced diet , importance of physical activity , hygeine and also about personal safety, all of which would benefit one to have a healthy lifestyle.Learning a number of rhymes  and exercises , field trip to the gym, cooking experience , have all  been a part of this unit .


Nursery...Red Week

Its lovely to see Nursery students come happily to school and they now seem to have a sense of belonging. Students have settled down to the school routine and are enjoying the various activities both indoors and outdoors.
Celebrating the Red week was so much fun. Beautiful classroom display in Red colour was indeed fascinating for the little ones.Wearing red clothes, creating art work  , show and tell , singing "My Red balloon", enjoying the raspberry jelly and a  red drink , all of these brought a smile on their faces as they enjoyed every bit of it.
Visit to the E.M.E temple was their first field trip this year. Children enjoyed the day out of school and explored the place with teachers and friends. A great way to build social and self management skills.

Dressed in different shades of green, students brought a green coloured object of their choice and shared them with their friends . The classrooms looked lovely with green backdrops and with pictures related to the colour green.Students had lot of fun with palm printing and vegetable printing and were happy to see their work up on the classroom boards.Children got camouflaged with the colour green during their nature walk.
The highlight of the day was a green tattoo on every child's hand to show off !!

Taking a trip -Prep Senior



Prep Senior students have been exploring the Unit "Taking a trip" last month where students have had hands on experience in planning and organizing a field trip from school. With their tutor's guidance, students  learnt what all goes into planning and organizing a trip from school.


Students listed down all the things that they needed to dowhile planning a trip and finally decided to go on a field visit to Pujan and Param’s farm at Bhayali. 

Once the place was finalized, students drafted a permission letter asking our PYP coordinator, Viraaj Ma'am and Administrative Manager, Joshi Sir seeking their consent.


We then designed a route map and asked students to collect the toys, medical kit,etc for our trip. Just before leaving our students used a checklist to confirm if we had taken everything required, thus unpacking the key concept of ‘Responsibility’.


Students took a tour of the farm and were then played in the garden .They strengthened their social skills while playing in groups and taking turns and also while sharing their snacks with their peers.


Our student’s enthusiasm and curiosity made this trip more interesting and developed their communication, social and self management skills.
